1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Objective We assessed associations between electronic cigarette (e-cigarette) use and smoking-related measures among American Indians (AIs) who smoke. MethodsWe collected baseline survey and smoking biomarker data in a cohort of 375 adult AI smokers at a Cherokee Nation healthcare facility in Oklahoma. We used multivariate logistic and linear regression analyses to determine associations between e-cigarette use and smoking-related characteristics, including biomarkers. ResultsCurrent e-cigarette users were more likely than never users to report a quit attempt in the past 12 months (current vs never adjusted odds ratio (AOR) = 2.24 [95% CI 1.20-4.16]). Current and past e-cigarette users were more likely than never users to report a likelihood to quit smoking (current vs never AOR = 2.97 [95% CI 1.34-6.56]; past vs never AOR = 1.77 [95% CI 1.08-2.91]). E-cigarette use was not significantly associated with confidence to quit smoking, cigarette packs smoked per day, or cotinine levels. ConclusionsE-cigarette use was associated with previous and future quit attempts, but not with reductions in cigarette smoking or confidence in quitting. This suggests that many dual users might benefit from the addition of evidence-based smoking cessation treatments.
